How To Play Live Dealer Baccarat 

The objective of Baccarat is to bet on Player or Banker positions, and that position needs to beat the other with a hand total closest to 9. There is also a third bet, which is the ‘Tie’.

  1. Choose to bet on Player or Banker

  2. You can also choose to bet on the ‘Tie’ option

  3. The dealer places cards on the Player and Banker positions

  4. The winner is the hand total closest to nine

Live Dealer Baccarat Rule Types

There are three key rules to Baccarat which are how much a winning bet pays, the value of each card, and how to avoid making bets against the casino’s terms and conditions.

Winning Bets

The Player bet payout is consistent across all Baccarat variants, but the Banker win and the Tie bet payouts depend on the variant you are playing.

  • Player Win: Pays 1:1

  • Banker Win: Pays 0.95:1 (No commission variants pay 1:1, but will have a rule to offset the no commission, for example, winning hand totals of 6 pay 0.5:1)

  • Tie Bet: Pays 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the variant.

Card Values

The dealers do all the work, so you don’t need to memorize the order the dealer adds cards to the Player and Banker hands. However, understanding how a hand gets a value close to 9 helps you to understand how the game works.

  • A to 9: 1 to 9 points

  • 10, J, Q, K: 0 points

There is another rule worth knowing when calculating hand values. If the combination of cards comes to a total of more than 9, then you need to subtract 10.

  • 7+6 = 13 - The hand total is 3

  • 3+9 = 12 - The hand total is 2

  • 5+5 = 10 - The hand total is 0
